The Missouri Tigers released an unofficial depth chart Saturday, giving a glimpse into what lineups to expect for the Week 1 game against Central Arkansas on Thursday.

The depth chart designations shouldn't be taken as final. Not even for the rotations Missouri will run Thursday. But, it does provide some good insight into where things stand after fall camp.

The most interesting things to note on the depth chart were the few positions that included an "or" between two possible starters. Most of these, like at quarterback or nose tackle, were expected to be undecided going into the season.

At quarterback specifically, Drinkwitz said there's no scenario where that "or" extends past Week 1. The Tigers will be decided on one of the two options before playing Kansas in Week 2.

As expected, no true freshmen was listed as a Day-1 starters. But some, such as Donovan Olugbode, DaMarion Fowlkes or Marquise Davis, look to have a good chance to work their way up and earn significant playing time.
